Denbigh (A)

(D) 2 - 2

(L) 4 - 2

The snow and cold weather cancellations of
recent weeks took their effect on the Wrexham players who all
forgot how to tackle!!This allowed Denbigh to take a deserved 2-0
lead with some excellent running from the centres.Still, the Wrexham maul was effective
in attack, and this helped JACOB BELL to score.In the last play of the game, a
penalty awarded to Wrexham allowed SAM WILLIAMS to drive over the
short distance to equalise for Wrexham. The match finished 2-2.

In the second
game, the long lay-off told with 2 quick tries for Denbigh. An excellent run
from RHYS NELSON brought Wrexham close, but two
further tries for Denbigh took the game beyond doubt.A second try for SAM WILLIAMS made
the final score respectable at 2-4, but Denbigh were deserved
winners.

Newcastle (A)

(L) 4 - 2

Both teams found it difficult to adjust to the rule differences
between English and Welsh rugby, and in a training match Wrexham went 1-0
down and fought back with two tries from DAN PARRY to win 2-1.

Newcastle
adapted better to the change in styles for the second match and it was a
forwards battle throughout the full match.

There was some heroic defence from Wrexham,
especially LEWIS JONES and MATTHEW LIVINGSTONE. A try straight from a
kick-off by DAN PARRY, and a break-away by LEWIS JONES, evading a last ditch
tackle from Newcastle, brought the scores to 2-2 at half-time.

Neither coaching
team had seen such a pounding forwards display, and in the muddy quagmire, a
slight of hand pass took Newcastle
to a 3-2 lead.

With Wrexham pushing
for an equaliser, an interception took the final score to 4-2 for Newcastle.
It was a defeat, but against an excellent side.

But the Newcastle
coaching team were generous in victory commenting on how Wrexham were the
best forwards team they had played.

This battling spirit earned RHYS NELSON the Man
of the Match trophy, not only for his tackling in defence, but also his work
at the breakdown and the straight forward running that created so much for
the team."

DENBIGH (H)

(W) 5 - 0

(D) 4 - 4

With the players on a high following last weeks wins, an altogether
different proposition faced them with a keen Denbigh side.The first
match saw some strong tackling from both sides with excellent forward play
from SAM WILLIAMS, MATTHEW LIVINGSTONE and LEWIS JONES. All this formed the
strong base that saw Wrexham take a deserved 4-0 lead at half-time with
tries from DAN PARRY (x2) and SAM WILLIAMS (x2).In the second half,
DENBIGH reformed, but a hat-trick try from SAM WILLIAMS put the game beyond
doubt, and the final score was a 5-0 victory for Wrexham.

The second
match saw all 17 Wrexham players get time on the pitch, and Denbigh had
regrouped. Some missed tackles from Wrexham allowed Denbigh 2 tries, but a
brace from SAM WILLIAMS and one from RHYS DAVIES took Wrexham to a 3-2
half-time lead.A ‘length of the pitch’ run from Denbigh, rounded off a
fine performance for them, taking Denbigh to a 4-3 lead, but a final try
from LEWIS JONES equalled the scores; 4-4 at the final whistle.

The
‘Man of the Match’ trophy went to SAM WILLIAMS who was awesome in defence
and attack.

LLANDUDNO (A)

(W) 7 - 0

(W) 6 - 0

Against a depleted
Llandudno team of 7, Wrexham players supplemented the away team, so thanks
to GEORGE DAVIES, HARI DAVIES, MATTHEW JONES and IEUAN GRIFFITHS.
Straight from the kick-off, Wrexham imposed themselves on the game with a
first minute try from SAM WILLIAMS. Further tries from DAN PARRY (x2), LEWIS
JONES (first of the season), HAYDN BRIGHAM (first of the season) and
another from SAM WILLIAMS took the score to 6-0 at half time.A second
half try from JACOB BELL finished the match for Wrexham with an impressive
shutout 7-0 final score.In the second match, Llandudno heads didn’t
drop, and they brought out some crunching tackles, but first half tries from
DAN PARRY (x2) and SAM WILLIAMS took Wrexham to a 3-0 half time lead.
Excellent rucking and expansive wide passing brought further tries for SAM
WILLIAMS and DAN PARRY (x2), and Wrexham were the eventual winners 6-0.
Such a good match would not have been possible without the opposition, so
many thanks to Llandudno for attending, even with so few players.It was
a close affair for the ‘Man of the Match’ trophy, but with his first try of
the season, and the pickup in his game this week, the trophy went to HAYDN
BRIGHAM.

NOV 8th

Rhyl (A)

(W) 4 - 1

(D) 2 - 2

Building on their
confidence from the tournament at Mold when they came third in their group,
Wrexham Under 9’s came to Rhyl in buoyant mood.Playing up the slope in
the first half sapped their energy, but a try from SAM WILLIAMS took Wrexham
into a first half lead. A combative Rhyl defence contributed to a tight
game.With the slope in the second half, Wrexham added a hat-trick of
tries from DAN PARRY. Excellent defensive tackling from the team, especially
LEWIS JONES playing on his debut, meant that Rhyl were restricted to one
try, and Wrexham ran out eventual winners 4 – 1.In a second, shorter
game, Rhyl took a deserved lead, but a second half fight back, with tries
from HARRY JACKSON and DAN PARRY brought matters to a close with a 2 – 2
draw.From a number of potential candidates, DAN PARRY took the ‘Man of
the Match’ trophy, not only for the tries, but for his all-round battling
performance. All players respectfully observed a minutes silence.

(W) 3 - 0

3rd

With trepidation in their hearts following the
Ruthin matches, but after having trained hard in the interim week, Wrexham
approached the tournament with renewed vigour.

Vs. NANT CONWAYHard fought tackling and very little
space kept the Wrexham team penned in, but against a very good Nant Conway
side, the score was kept respectable with a 3-0 defeat.

Vs. COLWYN BAYWrexham, at last, found their feet,
and the available space. Excellent tackling and determined running led to
tries for HARRY JACKSON, SAM WILLIAMS and MATTY GEE. To top it off, DAN
PARRY completed a hat-trick, and Wrexham were the eventual winners 6-1.

Vs. LYMMAgainst an exceptionally well drilled
team (and loud shouting coaches!), Wrexham had their work cut out for them.
It was down to this game as to who were the group winners, so even Nant
Conway were cheering for Wrexham. Lymm were just too strong though, and were
the winners by 5-0.Lymm were the eventual trophy winners, so no
disgrace to Wrexham there.

Vs. HELSBYWanting to taste victory again,
Wrexham worked hard at tackling and ripping. With a brace of tries, one
either side of half-time SAM WILLIAMS and a final victorious try from DAN
PARRY, Wrexham won the match 3-0, and finished third in their group.

The whole team
was awarded the ‘Man of the Match’ trophy for the sheer hard work and effort
put into turning around from heavy losses to a competitive performance, and
even victories. The Team recognised that their season started
here!

Ruthin (A)

(L) 24 - 2

Wrexham found the step up to contact rugby
quite daunting in their first competitive match of the season. Many of the
tactics that had been rehearsed simply went out of the window against a well
drilled Ruthin team. Yet, Wrexham continued to battle, and their
heads didn’t drop, and they tried to get something out of the game, even if
that was just experience.In the first match, Ruthin ran away
winners with 18-2. Wrexham tires were scored by the flying twin wingers of
HARRY JACKSON and GEORGE JACKSON.In the second match, Ruthin were
again too strong with a 24-2 victory. Wrexham tries scored by stalwart SAM
WILLIAMS and debutant IEUAN GRIFFITHS.
